men and women see things differently lots of times and the differences are not always do to stupidity or maleveolence on the part of the men, but in a modern society where women don't rely on men for support men have no means of getting a real hearing if the woman(women) in question are not positively disposed, which they are not as soon as they are challenged on anything important (being a pain in the ass makes a man unattractive to a woman but obviously it does not work the other way around) so unless men can be agreeable they are out in the cold, so to speak, women(again in a modern situation) are under no such constraint. The original issue was the guys (probable)jealousy and insecurity regarding his own sexual opportunities, this brought up the more general question of whether the average woman has sexual/social leverage and opportunites which the average man does not have, this was, absurdly, denied. Obviously I never suggested that women don't have problems that men don't have. I admit sometimes I can't tell if the issue is hysteria or politically conveninet selection of facts, the two seem to be thoroughly mixed a lot of the time.
